Pros

Proficient coworkers, friendly customers, laid-back summers.

Cons

The joke goes "K-12 technology is about a decade behind the overall technology industry." At Level Data, it's closer to 20 years--If sales had its way, they'd still be selling ADSS (circa 2007.) Very little innovation apart from SDVS. DM always on the horizon, but it will never be friendly enough to be used by it's intended audience.

Pros

Empowering mission to help educators and administrators in K12. Strong, collaborative culture where everyone is working together to make a bigger impact for our customers. Every part of the company is growing which creates tremendous learning and career opportunities. Lots of transparent communication so we know exactly how we are doing and what the opportunities are.

Cons

Rapid growth means a lot of change and constantly pushing yourself to learn and get better. Some people aren't wired that way. Totally remote/distributed work has lots of efficiency and lifestyle advantages, but it would be nice to have coffee or lunch with your colleagues more often.

Pros

Friendly peers. Unlimited PTO. Remote.

Cons

Customer turnover is high with incoming customers low. Customer relationships are suffering due to reduced headcount. Wasted budget going to the wrong teams. Customer requests all over the place with no real plan for how these should be tackled. Reorganizations happening every 4 months to try to solve issues when the real issue is there just isn't enough individual contributors and there are too many managers.
